We tried this place after reading some great reviews, but all I can say now, if that whomever posted those reviews clearly had a very strong drink or two with their meal. This was a catastrophe. I *would* have given this place one star, but I blame myself partially for doing take out. Food is always better fresh from the kitchen on a hot plate, I know this. However, I have had take away mexican before and this was inexcusable. I got a cheese enchilada, but I think they mixed up the "cheese" with wallpaper paste. Stuck a fork in it and could lift the whole dish. I asked for no red sauce at all, and the food was drenched with it. The chicken taco hubby got was the highlight of the meal, and even that was a generous 4 out of 10. We threw away 75% of our meal, and it cost us $33. $33 for two people and one one had an entree!!! People said it was cheap to eat here, they must be high. I will never step foot in this place again, HOWEVER, if tasteless, globby, unidentifiable "food" at a shamefully steep price is your thing, youll love it here.

I ordered a hot tamale, and they microwave them so hard that the whole thing was like a rock. Tamales are supposed to be cooked in boiling water and brought directly out of the husk from the corn onto your plate not stuck in a microwave out of the freezer. I talked to the manager and he laughed at me and so did the waitress. I asked the waitress how they cooked them and she said as she walked through the door into the kitchen that she has never been in the kitchen. Instead of making it right which they did offer me another tamale, but I said I did not want another microwave tamale. I think it was rude the way they laughed at me and ridiculed me and told me neither one of them had ever been in the kitchen in that restaurant. I used to like to go to that place but I dont think I will ever go in there again.

Went here because we had a coupon for 2 of the Chicken entrees. I was excited to try this place out as I am a huge fan of Mexican food (not to mention quite a few trips down to Mexico as well). The service was pretty good, Salsa definitely could have been better. Cheese dip was respectable, I get it every Mexican place I go and this one ranked up there. Ended up getting the Grilled Chicken with Chorizo and it was not only absolutely spectacular, but the portions were absolutely unreal. If you are a fan of awesome food/cheese dip, and getting a great value for what you spend (prices are pretty typical for a Mexican restaurant), then youve definitely got to try this place out.

The staff are Awesome! I felt very comfortable with my son and my new hairstyle...shaved off on the side... Lol anyway... The food was super AVERAGE... NOT THE AUTHENTIC TASTE I ACQUIRED... I ONLY CAME IN FOR PORK TAMALES... GUESS WHAT? NO PORK TAMALES! But the listed price for 3 ground beef tamales were $9.00.... $9.00 are you kidding me? Not shredded beef... I said bottom of the barrel ground beef... Anyway I probably wont come back but the staff was really nice!!

Great price full of options. We frequent this place because the staff is friendly, vary fast for a sit down and its not hard on the wallet. The food is good if you like a little more spice and flavor ask for the creamy jalapeno salsa. I know you native Kentucky-ens think its to spicy but its time to be bold.

Nice staff. Bad food..less than average. No taste and super greasy. The beef taco was dripping grease. My stuffed pepper was so gross and oozing grease. Ive had the same thing at other places and didnt leave with the stomach ache that I left that place with and I can eat McDonalds..

Ate lunch here yeterday. 3 of us arrived at 1245 and had no problem getting seated right away. Not very busy at all. Food and prices were very good. Service was decent, only wait was getting check. Not sure how proficient they would be with a packed house though.

We have yet to find a Mexican Restaurant nearly as good as our previous city (El Paso, TX) where every corner had a Mexican Restaurant. We have found 1-3 good ones, but this one is one of the worst ones.

When telling the server the my food wasnt right, looked at me like I was stupid. And the second time I didnt say anything. I paid and left. I will never eat there again and wouldnt recommend it.

Had a problem with my prder, manager was more than polite and fixed it. Beef burritos were very filling; couldnt even finish both of them off the alacarte. Would go back.

We love El Nopal. They have the best chips and salsa. Service is always fast and the food is always good. Pick up a pint of the salsa before you leave, and take it with you.

Authentic Mexican food! Best dollar value and more choices of many tasty dishes from south of the border. Friendly, fast service and no oversell. A family favorite!

I never leave here with out being filled. Its a tad pricer than other places, but for the quality and the quantity you get, it is well worth it.

Great good. Good prices. Not dark and dingy like other Mexican restaurants. Quick service, but not overly cheery.
